In a nutshell, a PLIC features one or more musicians, singing participants, and other members who just want to enjoy the performance and share the enthusiasm.
So grab an instrument, bring your chords, and just join in!
Singing participants require printed lyrics, and instrumentalists all need to have the corresponding chords, in order to accompany the choir.
Ideally, all the songs are compiled alphabetically in a binder that allows more scores to be added later.
There should be at least one binder for two or three participants, so that everyone can sing along comfortably.
The typical setting for a PLIC is a public place such as a bar, a restaurant, or better yet (if the weather allows) in a park.
We believe that music can be an efficient way to bridge the gap between different countries.
This is why all musical instruments and musicians are welcome in these gatherings.
Vocal cords, as our most natural instrument, is also highly valued during PLICs.
And since songs are declined in all the pallet of world languages, they are all the more valuable to us.
They enable to communicate on two different, yet complementary levels.
First as a musical instrument, and second with the words and meanings that they convey.
Everyone is welcome, regardless of their level as instrumentalists or as singers.
Again, this is neither a song contest nor a music festival.
PLICs are geared towards togetherness, sharing at all levels, good vibrations, and of course foreign language and cultural awareness.
Soon, we will put on-line scores that you may print out and use/adapt for your own PLICs.
However, you can already use your own music sheets, or find them on the Internet using a search engine. Ole!
